We cannot ward off destiny, even when it seems strikingly unfair; the tragedies of our existence painfully illustrate this truism. But God never gives us more than we can bear: everything has a meaning and our actions always attract their consequences even when we are not aware of the supernatural causality which guides the course of our lives. When we live we have all the choices; at the time of our death, only God can choose. If we wonder why certain things happen to people who deserve or do not deserve them we should remember that God “maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust”.
“And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him”.

In our days, when the monstrous state of confusion that has engulfed humankind seems to have thrown individuals and societies in complete disarray, one feels almost embarrassed to bring into discussion lofty spiritual matters which may be regarded as inconsequential and naïvely idealistic compared to the grave human problems that our terrestrial existence raises every day. Two thousand years ago, the Bible foretold these circumstances for which René Guénon provided a more recent account: “... the inferior judges the superior, ignorance sets bounds to wisdom, error prevails over truth, the human is substituted for the divine, Earth has priority over Heaven, the individual sets the measure for all things and claims to dictate to the Universe laws drawn entirely from his relative and fallible reason (from “Individualism”, in “The Crisis of Modern World”).
